Summary "A Historical Sketch of Company 'B,' Eighteenth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry" by Jewett Palmer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book chronicles the experiences of Company B during its three-month service in the Civil War, beginning with their recruitment and training in various camps. It serves as a detailed reflection on the operations, challenges, and camaraderie faced by the soldiers, offering a portrait of their dedication and sacrifices in the defense of the Union. The narrative moves through several key events in the life of the company, from their recruitment led by Captain Frank Buell in Marietta, Ohio, to their eventual deployment in Virginia. Palmer emphasizes the emotional farewells as the soldiers left for service and describes their challenges, including camping conditions, training drills, and encounters with the enemy. The book reflects on their brief yet poignant military journey, highlighting individual experiences, significant moments, and the aftermath of their service as they returned home. Ultimately, it serves as both a tribute to the soldiers’ efforts and a historical document for future generations, preserving the legacy of a small but committed group of volunteers during a tumultuous period in American history.
